This worksheet tests students on grammar concepts like compound words and plural nouns using the story Henry and Mudge and the Starry Night.

Let’s go through each question one by one and figure out the right answers together.

---

Question 1: Which of these words from the story is a compound word?

Compound words are made when two smaller words join to make a new word. Let’s look at the choices:

- camping → “camp” + “ing” — but “ing” isn’t a real word on its own, so not a compound word.
- canoeing → same idea — “canoe” + “ing”, not two full words.
- campfire → “camp” + “fire” — both are real words! This is a compound word.
- snacks → just one word, no parts that stand alone as separate words.

✔ So the answer is C) campfire

Question 2: Which is the correct way to write this sentence?

We need to fix the sentence:
“Henry’s mom knew how to cook camp food.”

This sentence is already grammatically correct! But let’s check the options:

A) Henrys mom knew how to cook camp food. → Missing apostrophe in “Henrys” ✘
B) Henry’s mom knew how to cook camp food. → Correct punctuation and spelling ✔
C) Henry’s mom knew how to cook camp food. → Same as B? Wait — maybe it’s a typo in the test? Actually, looking again — option C says “cook camp food” which is fine, but let’s compare carefully.

Wait — actually, all three options say almost the same thing. Let me re-read:

Actually, looking closely:

Option A: “Henrys” (no apostrophe) → wrong
Option B: “Henry’s mom knew how to cook camp food.” → correct
Option C: “Henry’s mom knew how to cook camp food.” → identical to B? Hmm… Maybe it’s a trick? Or perhaps there’s a difference I’m missing?

Wait — maybe Option C has “cook camp food” vs “cook camp food”? No, they’re the same.

Actually — perhaps the original problem had different wording? Since we can’t see the story, we assume standard grammar.

But here’s the key: In English, possessive needs an apostrophe: “Henry’s” not “Henrys”.

So only B and C have the apostrophe. If B and C are identical, then either could be right — but since tests usually don’t repeat exact answers, maybe there’s a small difference.

Looking again — perhaps Option C says “cook camp food” with no space? Unlikely.

Actually — let’s assume Option B is correctly written and matches standard grammar.

✔ Best choice: B) Henry’s mom knew how to cook camp food.

*(Note: If your worksheet shows B and C as identical, pick B — sometimes printers make mistakes.)*

Question 3: Which is the correct way to divide wonderful into syllables?

Syllables are beats in a word. Say “won-der-ful” — you hear 3 parts.

Let’s break it down:

- won - der - ful → 3 syllables

Now check the options:

A) won-der-ful → YES! That’s how we say it.
B) wond-er-fu-l → too many breaks, “fu-l” doesn’t work
C) won-derf-ul → “derf” isn’t a syllable
D) won-der-ful → wait, same as A? Oh — maybe D is “won-der-ful” too?

Wait — looking again:

In the image, Option A is “won-der-ful”
Option D is also “won-der-ful”? That can’t be.

Actually — in the user’s image description, it says:

> 3. Which is the correct way to divide wonderful into syllables?
> ○ won-der-ful
> ○ wond-er-fu-l
> ○ won-derf-ul
> ○ won-der-ful

Hmm — Options A and D are the same? That must be a mistake in printing or copying.

But logically — “wonderful” = won-der-ful → 3 syllables.

So if A and D are both “won-der-ful”, then either is correct — but since tests rarely duplicate, perhaps D was meant to be something else.

Assuming A is listed first and correct:

✔ Answer: A) won-der-ful

Question 4: Which is a fact about the story?

Facts are things that really happened in the story — not opinions or feelings.

Options:

A) Hiking is boring. → Opinion ✘
B) Bears are scary. → Opinion/fear, not necessarily stated as fact in story ✘
C) The family went camping in August. → Specific detail — likely a fact if mentioned in story ✔
D) Big Bear Lake is a nice place. → Opinion (“nice”) ✘

Even without reading the story, “went camping in August” sounds like a factual statement — time and event.

✔ Answer: C) The family went camping in August.

Question 5: Which is the correct way to make foot plural (more than one)?

Some words change completely in plural — these are irregular plurals.

“Foot” becomes “feet” — not “foots” or “feets”

Check options:

A) feet → YES! Correct plural of foot ✔
B) foots → Nope, not a word ✘
C) feets → Also not correct ✘

✔ Answer: A) feet

Final Answer:
1. C
2. B
3. A
4. C
5. A
